I don't know why I love you like I do After all these changes that you put me through
You stole my money and my cigarette I ain't seen the worst of it
I wanna know, won't you tell me Tell me how, how can I stay here with you
Take me to the river, help wash me down Take me to the river, put my feet back on the ground
I don't know why you treat me so bad After all the good times that we could have had
Love is emotion that I can't forget My sweet sixteen, I will never regret
I wanna know, won't you tell me Tell me how, how can I stay here with you
Take me to the river, help wash me down Dip me in the water, put my feet back on the ground
Love me, squeeze me, hold me You can tease me till I can't
And no more, no more, no more, no more
I just don't know why I love you like I do After all these changes that you put me through
Your sixteen candles, they're burnin' on my wall Now who's the bigger fool of us all
I wanna know, won't you tell me Tell me how, how can I stay here with you
Take me to the river, help wash me down Dip me in the water, put my feet back on the ground
Take me to the river, oh yeah Take me to the river, put my feet back on the ground
Won't you take me, won't you take me Take me to the river
Take me, take me to the river Take me, take me to the river
Take me, take me to the river Take me, take me to the river
